Hey guys! When I boot up my PC, sometimes the PSU fans won't spin at the whole time, even if I play heavy games so i have to restart my PC again so that the PSU fan will spin. I know that some PSU won't spin at a 40% load.

According to the specs for that PSU, it does indeed have a thermally controlled fan. So it may very well be working just as it should.
"The 120mm fan is thermally controlled, so it only spins at maximum speed when it’s pushed hard "

Now... whether it is supposed to totally shut down or just reduce speed, I don't know. If you have a concern, I'd contact Corsair for their input.
